Update and thank you :)

I just want to say thank you to you all for the advice and encouragement on my recent losing fat/exercising more/eat less post :D

So far things have been kinda....eh up and down. I managed to eat properly for the rest of the week, except yesterday. I blame free food as my weakness :P Like when someone brings in doughnuts at work :S

And cute food on sale, like this:

Why do these bears have to be so cute? I can't resist cuteness and chocolate-yness in 1 package...:S

Oh and Pocky was on sale for $0.88 cents down from $1.19 so I had to get one pack too....LOL. I think I can safely declare I'm one of the last people who would starve myself. I love food waayyyy too much :P

In more unhealthy food pictures, this was I made for lunch last weekend (before I started this healthy resolution thing)

Fried rice to use up all the leftover rice and bbq pork in the fridge:

Some recent haulage gathered from the past month:

Cosmetic:

NYX lipliner in PinkyLise Watier eye shine pencil in purple (a SA in Shoppers Drug Mart had this on and it looked gorgeous! Pricey though - at CAD$16)Free sample of Smashbox Photofinish Primer from SephoraFree samples of MAC Pro pigments in Kelly Green and Emerald Green from Pro Store

Closeups:

The MAC MA this time was so generous! I got probably 1/4 tsp in the jars...

Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus 10 day - tried it last year, it does work, but not as claimed. It didn't last the 18 months as claimed even though I followed the instructions of 2 per day for 10 days. Only lasted a couple of months even though I avoided coffee and dark coloured drinks afterwards. Still - its the only thing I know that works for me. (The oft-recommended homemade method of brushing teeth with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda did nothing for me.)

Veet High Precision Facial Wax- I don't feel like paying for someone to do my brows anymore but tweezing takes too long sometimes and doesn't get all the fine hairs. Haven't had a chance to use this yet though.

Braun Silk-Epil epilator (not pictured)- I've only had the chance to use it a couple of times so haven't formed a verdict on it yet. However, so far it seems to work much better on coarse hairs, and seems to miss finer hairs.

I still have to post my haul from Madame Madeline and Everyday Minerals from last month.

Girl, i'm such a wuss, I'm still shaving cos I'm not sure how much pain I have to endure with the epilator. I needed to use it when I have time, and I've been busy the entire week. I really like crest strips. My hygienist, is that what you call those who clean teeth at the dentist?, suggested this when I considered their teeth whitening options.

I tried the natural glow from Jergens, but it was kind of a pain in the behind because it seemed to take forever to sink in, and left my hand with all this shimmery crap. Besides, I kind of like being pale, hehe.

MMMmMMmm...fried rice. How did you make it? I'm in the market for a good fried rice recipe. ;P

And OH! Photofinish primer! *steals* I like the one with SPF in it though. And good luck with the Veet. I've only used the one for body, and it didn't work so well, but I hope it works for your eyebrows.

The cookies are so cute! And that fried rice...yum! Looking forward to seeing how the bronzer works. I've always been curious about self-tanners, but never had the opportunity to try them out because the boy likes me fair-skinned (I do, too :P)
